Steven J. Kaminshine is Professor of Law at Georgia State University College of Law, where he has served since 1985 including as Dean (2005-2017). He teaches Alternate Dispute Resolution, Civil Procedure, and Employment Law, drawing on prior experience as a labor attorney and National Labor Relations Board staff member.
His educational background includes:
- B.A. in History, summa cum laude, New York University at Albany
- J.D., with honors, DePaul University School of Law (DePaul Law Review)
Professor Kaminshine's research centers on labor and employment law with sustained focus on discrimination doctrines, statutory interpretation of Title VII/ADA/ADEA, and workers' compensation systems. His scholarship connects historical legal frameworks to contemporary workplace equity challenges, frequently addressing judicial reasoning gaps in employment discrimination cases. Recent works examine implicit bias mechanisms and evolving employer obligations under civil rights statutes.
His publication trajectory reveals consistent engagement with employment law's evolution since the 1970s, with notable clusters addressing ADA implementation (1990-1991) and Supreme Court interpretation of anti-discrimination statutes (1996). The 2024 tribute to Professor Charity Scott demonstrates ongoing contribution to legal academia's discourse.
Professor Kaminshine provides academic leadership through:
- Presidency of the Southeastern Association of Law Schools
- Executive board membership in same association
- Chairmanship of Atlanta Bar's Labor and Employment Section (two terms)
- Active participation in Georgia Bar's Labor and Employment Section
His practical experience informs student mentorship in employment law practice, though specific advising metrics aren't documented. Pre-academic roles at the National Labor Relations Board and as NYC labor law partner provide foundational context for his scholarly and pedagogical approach.
